I have a 1996 Geo Tracker. Two door convertible, soft top. I LOVE IT! I have wanted one of these since the first time I ever saw one, which was, well, back when they came out. Last May, when I had the now infamous UTI, Chris had to make the car payment. At that time we had a Chevy Blazer. He came home and said, "Hon, I'm so sorry, I know you don't feel good, but they have YOUR Tracker down there! You have to come see!" So I dragged myself off the couch and painfully got dressed and went to see. Yep, my dream Tracker, even to the color. So, long story short, we got it. I've told Chris several times that I plan to drive it until the wheels fall off - twice.
It's 4WD for winter, top down for summer, sporty, cute, and I love that short wheelbase. The only thing it doesn't do well is highway, it's geared too high. But since my driving is mainly in town anyway, that's ok with me. Chris calls it my "Shelly sized Jeep".
An added advantage - we got it right as the price of gas in the US soared to over $4.00 a gallon. I laughed all the way to the gas pumps - one fill up lasts me two weeks.
